2022 Preview


UNCHARTED: LEGACY OF
THIEVES COLLECTION
No 1440p 120fps Bloodborne for us, but
Sony is at least sharing some of its toys
this year. Legacy of Thieves includes
Drake’s final adventure, Uncharted 4, as
well as the excellent spin-off Lost Legacy
starring Chloe Frazer.

WARHAMMER 40K DARKTIDE


Vermintide. 40k’s megadark, heavy
metal album art aesthetic is perhaps
even more suited than regular

mega-city infested with cultists,
mutants, and daemons of the diseased
god Nurgle. With a chainsword in one
hand and a gun shaped like a box in the
other, it’s up to you to clean house.

handheld, it’s not as grand in scope as
World – but clever additions make combat
more acrobatic and thrilling.

t feels like just yesterday
we were talking about
Darktide in our 2021
preview, but Fatshark’s
40k-based successor to
the Warhammer: Vermintide games
was delayed out of last year and into
this one. Hopefully the extra time has
given Fatshark room to dial in its
improvements to that chaotic combat
we’ve come to love.
The fresh look and new weapon
balance inherent to the shift in setting
should be an interesting change from
